>(especially when someone put the value of the drive at $100) //

Is that wrong? I see a Seagate Baracuda 3TB on Amazon at $110. Do you mean it should have included the data value or that they inflated the price or what?

Yes, but the drive wasn't what had the value (it was second hand). It got sent back afterwards.

It was publicly funded research data, to be processed and uploaded to the Genome Browser at UCSC. Had someone just put zero on it I think it would have gone a lot more smoothly.
